Thermal imaging roof survey in Whitchurch, Hampshire
Find out the condition of the roof at your property in Whitchurch. We visit on weekdays and at weekends.
- Damp around chimneys and parapets
- Wet areas near outlets and upstands
- Leaks that are hard to trace
Practical tips
A little preparation and a few simple habits help, both for the survey and for the roof itself. Some pointers:
- Keep the report to compare against after any repair
- Note where damp appears and after what weather
- Do not climb onto the roof to look for leaks yourself
- Photograph damp patches with the date
Buyers can use the findings when talking to the seller or agent. It is your decision how to use it, whether you ask for work before completion or discuss the price.
Consider a repeat survey after major work on the roof, when the conditions are suitable.
Thermal roof survey in Whitchurch
Our Premium Survey, from £400, brings together a full roof inspection and thermal imaging. You also get a drone inspection where it applies, structural analysis and a report on the same day. An in-person consultation and a 12-month follow-up are included too. You can phone 07833 053749 or use the contact form with the address and a note of what you’ve noticed. Larger commercial roofs are quoted for their size. We’re often asked to look into cold areas below the roof and water getting in at parapets and stacks, on commercial roofs, flat roofs and loft conversions.
Around Whitchurch, older homes can have thin loft insulation and later additions with roofs of their own. A thermal image can show where heat is escaping or where moisture may be trapped, and drone photos show the roof surfaces themselves. Anything that looks like moisture is checked with a meter. Results depend on the weather, so the visit is planned around the forecast.
The Standard Survey adds moisture detection, a structural check and a follow-up consultation. The Premium Survey adds thermal imaging, drone inspection where applicable, structural analysis and an in-person consultation.

What happens if roof problems are left?
If a big flat roof may need replacing, knowing the wet areas first is useful. Images backed by moisture readings show where problems seem to be before you commit. Around Whitchurch, a leak in an older house can soak into timbers and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the roof fault itself.
A small, low roof with good viewpoints takes less time than a tall, complicated one, and the package you pick makes a difference too. The price is always agreed first.
What you get with us
- Covered by professional indemnity and public liability insurance
- Customer satisfaction of 98%
- Package prices that include VAT
- Surveys seven days a week

Do you need a thermal roof survey in Whitchurch?
Some owners book because the rooms under the roof feel cold. Gaps in loft insulation and poorly insulated roof areas can show up on the camera, particularly when there is a clear difference between inside and outside.
Common reasons to book include:
- Damp patches with no obvious cause
- Damp around roof outlets and upstands
- Leaks far from where the stain appears
- Damp where roofs meet walls and chimneys
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Whitchurch Church of England Primary School, big roofs are where photos from the air and thermal images show the most at once.
Before you book any roof surveyor
- Which viewpoints they use to see the roof
- Do they have a CAA Flyer ID and Operator ID for drone work?
- Is VAT included in the price?
- Whether you get a written report with photos

What else we do in Whitchurch
What a thermal roof survey looks like in Whitchurch
If your survey includes the drone, we check the Drone Safety Map for restrictions before flying. Thatch survives on some older buildings in Hampshire’s villages. Older houses in the South East frequently have slate or clay tile roofs, while many later estates have concrete tiles. A drone or thermal camera adds most on the steep, tall and hidden parts of roofs like these.
If your house is among the older ones in the streets near Church of All Hallows, thin or patchy insulation under an old roof often shows up clearly on a thermal image.
Whitchurch is about 6 miles east of Andover, in Hampshire. In Whitchurch, as across Hampshire, every roof gets the same careful survey. Our Hampshire coverage includes Whitchurch and the places around it. For surveys nearby, see our Southampton page.

Can I check my roof myself?
Watch the gutters in a downpour, from a window or the ground. Overflowing water can be a sign of a blockage or a gutter that has dropped.
If you have a loft with safe access, take a look inside. Take a torch and only step on boards or joists, and look for staining, damp timber or daylight coming through.
Questions from Whitchurch
Will you come out to Whitchurch?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of London and South East England. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when booking.
Is Whitchurch in the area you cover?
We do. The survey and report are the same in Whitchurch as anywhere else.
Is it a structural engineer’s report?
No. Visible signs such as deflection or sagging are recorded, but we don’t provide calculations or an engineer’s opinion. The report will say if you need an engineer.
Is thermal imaging useful on pitched roofs?
It can be useful, though pitched roofs are typically harder to read. Slates and tiles over a ventilated space can mask what’s below, so we combine it with an inspection from the loft where there’s safe access.
How do I book a survey in Whitchurch?
Simply phone 07833 053749 or email us. We will ask a few questions, confirm the price and agree a date, weekday or weekend.
Will I get photos?
Yes. Photos are taken throughout the survey, and they go into the written report alongside our recommendations.
How long have you been surveying roofs?
Over 20 years and more than 5,000 surveys, across London and South East England.
What this survey cannot tell you
This is not a RICS building survey, a structural engineer’s report or an asbestos survey. It also has these limits:
- Proving moisture from the images alone
- A formal energy assessment
- Reliable images in rain, strong wind or on a wet roof surface
If in doubt, ring 07833 053749 or email us and we will suggest the right survey before booking. The full list of what we check.
Roofs we survey in Whitchurch
- Flat roofs
- Insulated roof spaces
- Pitched roof slopes
- Loft conversions
- Ceilings below the roof
- Commercial roofs
What happens on the day
Where it’s relevant and can be reached safely, the roof space is checked as well as the outside. Inside, we look for staining, damp, gaps and signs of movement. All in, the survey usually takes about one to two hours for most houses, and longer for a large or complex roof. In a smaller place like Whitchurch, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. Low roofs on bungalows can often be seen well from the ground, and the loft shows the rest.
- You tell us about the roof and any damp, leaks or cold rooms.
- The weather and surface conditions are recorded.
- A full inspection and thermal imaging are carried out together.
- Moisture readings are used to check what the camera shows.
- The Premium report reaches you the same day, and we go through it with you in person.
Getting ready for the survey
- Clear the way to the loft hatch
- Show us where any leaks or stains appear
